DeadMau5, Nine Inch Nails and Snoop Dogg are just some of the big stars who will be playing for thousands of party people at this year’s resurrected Pemberton Music Festival.

The festival, which is returning after a five-year hiatus, runs from July 18 to 20. New promoters Huka Entertainment released the lineup on Wednesday, saying there will be nearly 100 performances, including from Soundgarden, Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar.

Expected Tuesday, the lineup release was delayed by a day, but Huka CEO A.J. Niland said it took a little longer because organizers wanted to finalize the details so fans would have “the best experience.” He did not say whether the festival was waiting on a particular artist to sign.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. and start at $279, plus camping or shuttle options for $89.

The three-day festival will be held in Pemberton Valley, near the foot of Mount Currie. The organizers say there will be camping on 300 acres (121 hectares) and six separate performance areas, including two main stages, two secondary stages, a dance tent and a comedy area.

In an interview with The Vancouver Sun last year, Niland said he wanted to build on the lessons learned from the 2008 event featuring Jay Z and Coldplay that suffered a few setbacks. Niland said Huka had studied the Live Nation event from 2008, which included problems with garbage collection and insufficient portable washroom facilities.

He said this year’s festival will feature consolidated camping with 25,000 spots available, ensuring there is no massive crowd movement during the festival.

An extensive shuttle service between Whistler and Pemberton will also ensure festivalgoers staying off-site will have easy access to the festival grounds, which will hold 35,000 people.

Huka Entertainment says more artists are expected to be added to the list in the coming weeks, but here’s the list so far:

The mystery of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 has captivated the world for more than four years, but for two retired Ottawa air accident investigators, it all comes down to six seconds. And the evidence from those final moments before the Boeing 777 disappeared into the Indian Ocean is irrefutable, say Larry Vance and Terry Heaslip. “We […]

At first she was tearful, then she was horrified. The young woman had just discovered a cellphone that was recording her as she took her clothes off in an Ottawa doctor’s examining room. Confronted, the doctor insisted that the video was for “training purposes” and deleted it in front of her. Incredulous, she refused to […]
